Well, the one-vs-one Campaign games have finally ceased. An impressive total of 49 games were played, including 4 War of Conquest games. (In the Campaign last year, which had been our most prolific year to date, only 39 games were played). The two leaders are currently James and Andy.
Five more games this week completed the Campaign games this year.

Firstly, James beat Paul Lawton, James’ Chaos Mortals catching the Greenskins before they could fully deploy and crushing then in a vice-like grip. This was James’ 11th Campaign game and his 7th win. He remains undefeated – well done James.

Andy’s Lizardmen beat Warren’s Dark Elves in a close fought contest. This was Andy’s 12th Campaign Game, and his 7th win. Andy’s 12 games were the most played by a single player, showing how important it is not just to win, but to play.

Paul Lawton then showed what his Greenskins could do with manoeuvre room, setting up some rather obvious traps against my Cone Heads. My army relies on Magic for shooting, and I tried to clear the traps with magic, but my Mages had a nightmare, my magic phase failing compleatly each turn. My combat units then blundered into the traps to avoid goblinoid shooting, and my elite combat troops were duly massacred by carefully planned counter-charges into the flanks. A very skilful win by Paul L.

Mark’s Dark Elves won a clear victory over Stuart’s Ogres, confirming my view that Elves are a bad matchup for Ogres. The Ogre charge was peppered with cross-bow bolts, and the few remaining Ogres fought a tough fight against Mark’s combat troops, the Ogres wiping out the Black Guard but losing their army in the process. My apologies to Stuart – I accidently gave you a new Territory on Campaign Points, but you only have 2 Campaign Points. However, you didn’t appear too exited by yet another Town!

Mike’s Bretonnians avenged their defeat by Robin’s Greenskins last week by riding them down in droves this week. The absence of the Pipes of Doom may have helped!

A new Territory sheet is attached. If you see any errors then please let me know.

The Campaign Final will be next week. Andy doesn’t know if he can make it or not, so I will send out another email later in the week to say who the other Warlord is (James is the other). The two Warlords can take an army of 2,500 points each, which is not restricted by Campaign restrictions, but must be legal and cannot contain any named characters. For the rest of us, please bring your normal Campaign army (restricted by campaign rules and limited to the benefit of 8 Territories).
The final battle will be a multi-player battle, with players split into two teams. The teams will battle for control of hills – the team with the highest total unit strength on the hill (all models actually on the hill count towards this total – characters and monsters don’t count) will win the hill. Experience has shown that these big battles only last 4 turns, so there is little time for messing about!

Please try and get to the club as close to 7pm as you can next week, these big games take time to set up and play.
Finally, thanks to all who have taken part this year, it has been another really fun campaign.
